wdaly Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 OK - remove the windshield wipers Also might as well remove the dash-mounted inside rearview mirror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudeNorm Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) When the glass shop replaced my windscreen they pulled the old one first then found the replacement, which took almost 2 months to arrive, was flat across the bottom. They had the car sitting in a corner of the shop while awaiting the glass. Another 2 months later they finally got the correct one in. By this time it was nearly spring so I told them I would pick up the car when the streets were dry. Since the glass replacement was an insurance job it was sort of like almost free storage , $100 deductible...
